So, I’ve never read The Catcher in the Rye or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Are they worth the read? Please no spoilers! I was Googling literature to read and stumbled across these two that caught my eye. I used to read religiously as a child and I’m trying to find my way back into reading as a place to find serenity from anxiety and other emotions. I love to read, I’ve just strayed away as an adult due to an awful work balance, marriage, exercise (metabolism is nonexistent, so exercise is an absolute must) and other adult responsibilities that are time demanding.

Any other amazing novels you’d like to suggest I’m open to as well! I like a good mystery, historical (specifically World Wars, Holocaust, U.S History, etc), and some romance! I really like to feel like I’ve learned something from the novels I read whether it’s true education or self reflection.
